Program Requirements
Major and Honours Programs
Students planning to complete a Major or Honours program in Computer Science register in the Faculty of Engineering. Students registered in another faculty may transfer into a BSc program in the Faculty of Engineering (see “Transfers from Other Faculties”).
All students planning to complete a Major or Honours Program in Computer Science must file a Record of Degree Program form before registering for third year in the Faculty of Engineering. Computer Science Degree Programs are submitted to the Computer Science Advising Office.
Admission to the Honours Program 
Students who wish to be admitted to the Honours Program should apply to the Honours Adviser on completion of their second year. Entry requires a minimum GPA of 6.0 in all required second-year CSC, SENG, MATH and STAT courses.
Students may be admitted to the Honours Program upon completion of their third year provided they have a GPA of at least 6.0 in all CSC, SENG, MATH and STAT courses taken in their third year based on a minimum of 12 units of course work for that year.
A GPA of 6.0 in third year is needed to progress to fourth year in the Honours Program. Students who do not achieve this GPA will be required to transfer to the Major Program.
